You can find a copy of gas.2.6.gz in the ftp.freebsd.org incoming
directory. I had compiled it by adding another entry in the
gas subdirectory configure script. Something like adding the line

      i386-*-freebsd*)      fmt=aout em=386bsd ;;

(If I remember correctly)

Seems to work fine... I havent bothered with the linker. The
other libs seemed to build ok by configuring them separately.
I havent tested them very hard though...

Hope this helps...
